Looking to make a move to the Bay Area (agnostic to exact location). But want to move somewhere with a good public elementary school that can support a 2E (twice exceptional) rising second grader. Does anyone have any pointers? Edited to add more context: we will rent for this year, Rental budget is ~5k-5.5k. Don’t need a big home, just a stop gap till we can find the right home to buy for long-term. I can work from home but my partner likely needs to commute to Mountain View / San Bruno (both are options). TC for blind tax: 275K
1) Fremont (Mission school district area) 2) Pleasanton 3) San Ramon 4) San Jose (Almaden Valley) 5) Cupertino
There's a Facebook group Gifted Kids in SF Bay area where you can ask parents of other 2E kids in the Bay area what schools worked for them. I was able to chat with a few parents at the school before finalizing a school for our child and it helped a lot
Thank you so much, I’ll find the group and check-in with parents there! Do you have a 2E child going to a school in the area? Would you be willing to share any insights via dm?
I have a gifted child but not 2E so I don't have any insights on the 2E side. I know that some parents with 2E kids found Montessori schools to be a great fit
Difficult to answer without knowing your budget. Are you looking to buy or rent? Also, do you have to go into office ?
We will rent for a year, to get a feel for the area. I’ll edit my post to add more details.
